Making Christ Known through Love and Service
Welcome
Welcome, and thank you for visiting Saint Hilary's Episcopal Church online. As Episcopalians, we believe in and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death, and resurrection saved us and the world.
We believe that God loves us and you - with absolutely no exceptions.
We hope that our website highlights the wide variety of worship, fellowship and service opportunities available. Please feel free to read more about our church on this site, or come in for a visit. We would love to greet you and share with you our love for Jesus Christ and our love for you, our neighbor. The Episcopal Church welcomes you!
Our Mission
We are a faith community where progressive Christianity meets the tradition of common prayer, social justice, and outreach.
The mission of Saint Hilary's Church is "to make known the love and kindness of Jesus Christ to all people" within our congregation and in the wider Fort Myers community through worship, service, and compassion.
We are committed to befriending followers and non-followers of God, acting in a compassionate manner and being subject to another. We have learned that honest gestures and beneficence is the most meaningful way to embody the love of God.
Sacraments
At Saint Hilary's Holy Communion is offered at all of our Sunday services. We are pleased to celebrate with you the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Marriage; we also offer private reconciliation, holy unction, and a funeral liturgy.
If you are seeking any of these sacraments, please contact our office for more information.
